Are you using a computer with a solid state drive instead of a spinning hard drive? Because that would definitely cause a problem. Your internet connection speed could be the problem. Or are you doing the connection sync over a tor?

Dowoading to 7200 RPM Enterprise drives

Using fast vpn, not tor

There's your problem and SSD is pretty much a requirement in order to get fast synchronization.

ah...is it write intensive?

It's a lot of random reads, that's for sure.

Is cakewallet the mobile app of choice?

I use cake/monero & stack duo

Nice. Cake looks cool.

Do any mining ?

It was not worth it for me lol

I mined back in the day, hodl & sold those coins at the ath

ah. I tried with 6 -8 machines at home and was lucky to get 2 cents a day. some days 0

Biggest ryzen are the best for mining

Can't afford the ThreadRippers lol

Yup I could but it’s not worth it imho n e more

how did you connect cake wallet to your own bitcoin node? no settings for rpcauth

Point at your nodes ip & port

so you have no auth on your node?

No

hmmmm i commened out the rpc lines in bitcoincore config but Sparrow wants a user/pass

Never used sparrow

i use monero.com (by cake wallet) and monerujo. I would like to use mysu but its not daily driver ready yet.
